Abstract: A bi-directional (BiDi) electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) configured as an energy management system or to connect to the energy management system is provided and comprises a first input/output configured to connect to at least one of a distributed energy resource (DER) power converter, a neutral forming transformer, or a load, a second input/output that is configured to connect to a main panel which is configured to connect to a home load and a meter of a grid, and a third input/output configured to connect to an electric vehicle (EV). The bi-directional (BiDi) electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) is configured to automatically transfer energy between each of the electric vehicle (EV), the distributed energy resource (DER) power converter, the grid, and the home load during operation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for visualizing energy flows. In one embodiment, the method comprises (I) obtaining a plurality of measured energy flow values for a plurality of energy flows between a plurality of energy sources and a plurality of energy sinks, wherein at least one of measured energy flow value is a measurement of energy flow from an energy source to two or more energy sinks; (II) computing a plurality of energy flow values based on the measured energy flow values and a set of energy priority allocation rules, wherein each computed energy flow value of the plurality of energy flow values represents energy flow between an energy source of the plurality of energy sources and an energy sink of the plurality of energy sinks; and (III) generating a display image representing at least one computed energy flow value of the plurality of energy flow values.
